Generous Cashout wins Top Sprint at Brandywell

​There was a good quality of sprinters in the line-up and Generous Cashout, who was returning after her seasonal break, was well supported from 6/4 into evens before the off to win.

She didn’t disappoint! As the traps went up she made a flying start and soon was a couple of lengths clear of the field. She then tracked really well around the opening bends and galloped on strongly up the home straight to win by over three lengths in a fast time of 16.66 for her Broughshane-based owner, Charles Baxter.

In race two also over the sprint distance, the well bred pup, Baddabing was having her first race and she was evens favourite to win. At traprise it was That's Deadly Kid – another unraced pup – that led from trap three with Baddabing about a length in behind. However, going into the opening bend Baddabing showed very good pace to take the lead and won by five lengths in a good time of 16.87 for local owner Sean Adams and Lifford based trainer Tony Maxwell.

In race four also over 500 yards, Cavies Jet - a recent purchase for local owner Colm McConomy – was also having his first race at the track and he was 2/1 before the off. He broke on level terms in the race but then took the lead going along the back straight. He was a couple of lengths clear with the strong staying Galliagh Johnny in second coming into the home straight. Galliagh Johnny did start to close but the line came just in time for Cavies Jet and he held on to win by three quarters of a length in a time of 28.21 for local trainer Stephen Radcliffe.

Racing will take place on Monday night at the track and the first round heats of Johnny McLaughlin memorial sprint and the Danny Canning memorial 500 will be the main races on the card from 8pm.

Meanwhile there was an eight race card at Lifford on Saturday night and Corcass Coyote was an impressive winner of the sixth race over the sprint distance. The October ‘23 dog won a 525 the previous week at the track and was 6/4 joint favourite to win with Brasidas from trap three. At trap rise Brasidas led but near the line Corcass Coyote got the upper hand to win by three quarters of a length in a time of 17.59 for Derry based owners, Patrick Edgar and Richard Graham.

In the first race also over the sprint distance Glenquain Bucko from trap one took the lead around the first bend and ran on well to win in a time of 17.96 at odds of 5/4 for Strabane based Naomi Baxter.

Race seven was a 525 and Honey Champ, who was bought a few weeks previous after winning his Sales trial at Kilkenny, was the evens favourite to win. He was slowly away at trap rise and looked to have a lot to do but it was a different story for Highview Mike from trap six. He swept around the inside runners at the bend and galloped on strongly to won in a time of 29.41 at odds of 7/4 for owner William Hodge and Tyrone based trainer Eddie Hurson.

One for the notebook in this race was Honey Champ. After meeting trouble several times in the race, he stayed on strongly to finish second. In the same grade in his next race he will be difficult to beat!

In the last race on the card over the sprint distance, Intensify from trap two was the 6/4 favourite to win. However, after a sluggish start he looked to have a lot to do. That man from trap five showed brilliant early pace to lead in the race from Ardagh Vis in second and Intensify just behind in third. Coming into the home straight Intensify ran on strongly to win by just over a length in a time of 17.55 for Derry based owners Tom Mullan/Janine Barber and trainer Willie Mullan.

Racing tomorrow night at the track starts at 7.45pm and racing on Sunday starts at 2.25pm. Free admission to Sunday’s racing with full bar and restaurant open.
